5 Things we Liked About the Triumph Speed 400 – Test and Review

Being a moto-journalist since 1998 and having test ridden so many motorcycles, I am constantly being asked which is my favourite or which one will I recommend to own. And since this is the review of the new Triumph Speed 400, it is a forgone conclusion to a now rhetorical reason, right? Well, you need to read to the end to find out, just like a Coen Brothers’ movie.

What is the Triumph Speed 400?

The Speed 400 is one of two variants in Triumph’s new 400cc range, the result of their cooperation with Bajaj Auto which began many years ago. The range is seen as the entry level point into the Triumph family, and both take on the shape of the modern-classic Bonneville.

The 400 range which consists of this Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X are powered a 398cc, single-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve engine which produces 39.5hp at 8,000 RPM ad 37.5Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM. Make no mistake, this is a Triumph-spec engine, unlike the one which powers the Dominar 400 which shares some of its architecture with the KTM 390 Duke’s.

Perhaps we need to reiterate that this lineup is built by Bajaj, but the bikes are definitely Triumphs.

What we liked, Number 5: The simplicity

Before motorcycles were segmented and micro-segmented into different categories, the Bonneville’s type of motorcycles were the only motorcycles, hence you can label it as a “standard motorcycle.” They were pure in the sense that there are two wheels, an engine, a fuel tank, a seat, a handlebar, footpegs.

Point is, motorcycles were uncluttered, uncomplicated, and in other words, simple. You only needed to jump on it, start, and go.

The Triumph Speed 400 embodies this perfectly. There is no need to fettle with the engine mapping, level of traction control, connect your smartphone.

Just ride.

What we liked, Number 4: Its specification

While this seems like a contradiction to Number 5, it is a necessity. The Speed 400 may be an entry-level model, but it has some “hidden” modern features.

The engine is modern throughout and features EFI and liquid-cooling, and is Euro 5-compliant. Likewise, the suspension consists of upside-down forks (albeit unadjustable) and a monoshock at the back, similar to the Bajaj Dominar 400’s. The instrument panel looks classic with a large speedometer, but there is a small tachometer at the side. There is traction control which can be switched on or off, but no ride mode. Brakes are Bybre and ABS is dual-channel. There is also a USB charging port, cleverly placed behind and just underneath the instrument panel.

What we liked, Number 3: That engine

It pulled really hard. It revved so quickly that it gobbled up the first three gears instantly, causing us to run into the rev limiter the first time we hammered down. It even continued to push the bike hard in 6th from 6,000 RPM and onwards to its top speed of around 160km/h.

The good spread of torque is a character of all Triumph motorcycles, letting you accelerate hard from whichever point you currently are in the rev range, in any gear. Consequently, it made short work of riding in traffic or up our KL-Genting Highlands test route.

It needed more gear-shifting than bigger bikes when we tested it by going up the Genting Highlands road, but the torque was always present for punching out of slower corners. But because it is a smaller capacity, it never overwhelms and you are not afraid to open up, compared to bigger capacity bikes where you have to judge your throttle, braking, steering actions judiciously or risk going wide.

The throttle response was smooth – again, a trait of all Triumphs – meaning the bike reacts exactly to the twist of the wrist. And this made it so much fun hammering the bike up and down Genting Highlands.

It even cruised happily at 130km/h (8,000 RPM) all day without sounding like the engine will explode.

What we liked Number 2: Its handling!

We have said this over and over again: Triumph makes the best handling bikes and we are glad that the Speed 400 is no exception. In fact, it is the best handling Triumph!

All we needed to do was, for want of a better word, chuck the bike into any corner. See the corner, chuck it in. See another corner, chuck it in. The wide handlebar made countersteering a cinch because it responded immediately to our inputs.

The suspension may seem rudimentary but it absolutely soaked up all the bumps and holes on that road. We were a little apprehensive at first but discovered that no amount of road imperfection apart from speed bumps could throw the bike off its cornering line.

First victim to discover this was a VW Golf R32 driver who tried to race us. He was gone in just two corners. Another Proton X50 driver thought he could do the same, even by attempting to squeeze us off our cornering line. He was also despatched after two corners.

On the way down, a KTM 390 Duke rider gave chase but was left behind after the section consisting of “S” bends. Next was a group consisting of a Honda CBR250R, Yamaha YZF-R25, and several Yamaha Y16ZRs. They could not keep up after we chucked the Speed 400 through that one particularly tricky slippery and reducing radius left-hander.

On the SPE, a BMW R 1200 GS rider saw us in his mirrors and opened up. Of course, we could not keep up in a straight line due to the huge engine power deficit, yet we managed to cling on behind him in the corners as we chucked the bike around at speeds between 120-130km/h without even going off throttle. He was surprised to see us still behind when the road straightened out and he rolled out to see what bike it was.

How we wished we could paint the silhouettes of our “kills” on the side of the tank, just like how fighter pilots do!

Now, this would not have been even a blip of a talking point if the Speed 400 was a sportbike, but it is not – it is a modern classic standard. Comparing it to the likes of the 390 Duke, the Duke needs more commitment and a skilled and experienced rider to ride it fast, whereas we think almost anyone can be fast on the Speed 400. Heck, I do not think I went up and down Genting this fast even on the Triumph Street Triple 765 RS!

To put it into perspective, it was like riding a 250cc naked bike with well-sorted suspension, great throttle response, and smooth torque.

What we liked, Number 1: Accessibility and practicality

Great features, engine, handling, all wrapped up in an accessible and practical package. The seat is low and comfortable, with the handlebars placed at just the right height. The brakes were good although it needed a slightly harder pull, the clutch action was smooooooth. The gears slotted in solidly. The bike was light on paper and could be felt immediately. It went fast immediately when we wanted to be fast, and cruised serenely when we wanted to relax.

You could install a tank bag and side bags for touring. The engine is fuel efficient, wringing out 300+km from 12 litres.

And all these, for just RM26,900 (selling price) which puts it as a power player in the 250cc-400cc segment.

Shortcomings

Of course there were, but they probably due to rider preferences and riding styles.

Firstly, the first three gears where too short and the space from third to fourth a little wide. That left us changing up and down between third and fourth while in traffic. This can be fixed by swapping the stock front sprocket out to one with one tooth bigger, or dropping two teeth out back. It should make the engine run at lower revs during cruises, and help with rolling speeds into corners.

Secondly, we detected iffy fuel injected between 5,000-6,000 RPM on partial throttle in all gears. We circumvented this by either using a higher gear in lower RPMs, and lower gear above those RPMs. Still, it should not exist for a Triumph.

Thirdly, the bike tended to squirm during hard braking due to the aggressive steering angle (24.3 degrees). However, this was cured by clamping our inner thighs hard onto the sides of the fuel tank. That said, they bike does not like being trail braked into corners due to its rearward weight distribution, consequence of its riding position. It also waggled the handlebar in really high-speed corners. We suspect this can be easily fixed by increasing the rear shock’s preload to move more weight to the front.

However, these are just (very) minor niggles to detract from the overall enjoyment of riding the bike. We had to come up with these for the sake of a balanced review.

Closing

Coming back to the opening, can I place the Triumph Speed 400 as one of my personal favourites? And would I recommend buying it?

YES. And YES.

Triumph Speed 400, Triumph Scrambler 400 X Launched in Malaysia

The much awaited Triumph Speed 400 and Triumph Scrambler 400 X were launched in Malaysia, over the weekend.

Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) – Penghormatan kepada Pemenang IoM TT

Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) telah didedahkan, sebagai penghormatan kepada Tridentyang memenangi perlumbaan IoM TT (Isle of Man TT) dari 1971 hingga 1975.

Sebagai edisi khas, ia menggunakan skema warna putih, biru dan merah bersejarah dengan grafik, lengkap dengan nombor 67. Skema warna ini adalah warna pada basikal yang memenangi TT tersebut, yang digelar “Slippery Sam.”

Walaubagaimanapun, ia bukan sekadar skema cat kerana Triumph telah menambahkan beberapa komponen yang sebaliknya hanya tersedia sebagai pilihan. Pertama, terdapat skrin kecil yang dipadan warna di atas lampu depan. Seterusnya, pelindung bawah enjin aluminium, dan quickshifter Triumph Shift Assist dengan blipper automatik, sebagai standard.

Bahagian mekanikal lain Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) kekal tidak berubah. Enjinnya ialah jenis tiga silinder 660cc yang menghasilkan 80 hp pada 10,250 RPM dan 63.7 Nm tork pada 6,250 RPM. Itu adalah sebaran 4,000 RPM yang amat besar antara tork maksimum dan kuasa maksimum, bermakna enjin boleh memecut dengn cemerlang di mana-mana dalam julat RPM!

Fork depan masih jenis Showa terbalik yang tidak boleh laras, manakala monoshok Showa di belakang boleh laras untuk prabeban sahaja. Kaliper brek dua omboh Nissin menyandang tugas membrek di hadapan. Malah tayar masih kekal tidak berubah dari Michelin Road 5.

Ciri elektronik termasuk ABS sebagai standard, mod tunggangan ROAD (jalan) dan RAIN (hujan), skrin TFT berwarna, kawalan cengkaman boleh dihidupkan/dimatikan, sistem keselamatan kunci immobilizer.

Harga bermula dari USD 8,595 (RM40,645.76) iaitu harga yang sama dengan Trident 660 standard. Bagaimanapun, terdapat harga yang berbeza di negara lain, kerana ia dijual pada harga yang lebih tinggi sedikit di Kanada.

Triumph Trident 660 Special Edition (2025) atau juga dikenali sebagai Triumph Trident 660 Tribute (2025) pastinya akan sampai ke Malaysia kelak.

Satu-satunya persoalan yang kami ada ialah: Mengapa Triumph tidak melancarkan Tribute Daytona 660?

Banjaran Triumph Rocket 3 Storm (2024) Dilancarkan

Rangkaian Triumph Rocket 3 Storm (2024) telah dilancarkan, dalam kedua-dua varian R dan GT.

Rocket 3 terkenal dengan dua perkara: Satu, ia mempunyai enjin motosikal terbesar dalam produksi, dan dua, tork enjin yang akan meluruskan tangan anda seperti roket. Tetapi jangan silap: Triumph telah menjual 18,000 Rocket 3 sejak pembuatan semula pada 2019.

Dan, Triumph tahu bahawa tambahan kuasa sentiasa lebih baik.

Berikut ialah ciri-ciri rangkaian Triumph Rocket 3 Storm (2024):

Enjin 3 silinder, 2458 cc (ya, lebih besar daripada kebanyakan kereta di Malaysia), kini menghasilkan 180 hp pada 7,000 RPM dan tork 225 Nm pada 4,000 RPM.
Itu merupakan peningkatan 15 hp dan 4 Nm.

Kuasa dihantar melalui Torque Assist Clutch, pembeli boleh membeli quickshifter sebagai pilihan.
Kerangka masih lagi diperbuat daripada aluminium, yang membuat penampilan sulungnya pada tahun 2019. Ia lebih baik untuk mengurangkan berat badan.
Roda aluminium tuang 10 jejari baharu untuk mengurangkan berat sebanyak 2 kg.
Pengurangan 2 kg adalah banyak apabila roda berputar, kerana memberikan pengendalian yang lebih tangkas kerana daya giroskopik yang telah dikurangan.

Bahagian hadapan mempunyai fork Showa 47 mm yang besar, boleh laras untuk lantunan dan redaman mampatan.
Monoshok belakang ialah Showa RSU monoshock dengan takungan.
Kaliper brek Brembo Stylema berada di hadapan, mengapit pada cakera 320mm.
Di bahagian belakang, angkup Brembo M4.32 monobloc mencengkam cakera 300mm yang besar (memandangkan berat motosikal ini berada di belakang).
Menjinakkan kuasa itu ialah bantuan penunggang seperti TC, ABS dan empat mod kuasa.
Terdapat juga ABS sensitif sudut mereng, dan juga kawalan cengkaman selekoh yang dioptimumkan.
Kini terdapat ciri Hill Hold, yang menghalang motosikal daripada melorot ke belakang apabila berada di cerun bukit dengan menggunakan brek belakang.
Kawalan jelajah (cruise control) merupakan sebagai ciri standard pada kedua-dua model, dan anda boleh mengaktifkannya dengan satu sentuhan butang dan melaraskannya ke atas atau ke bawah dalam kenaikan 1 mph.
Semua ciri teknologi harus mudah berinteraksi melalui paparan TFT warna penuh dan kayu bedik lima hala.

Kedua-dua varian R dan GT menggunakan tema berwarna hitam.
Varian R mempunyai cara tunggangan yang lebih sporty, dengan pemijak kaki boleh laras pertengahan dipasang, manakala R mempunyai pemijak kaki di hadapan dan kedudukan tunggangan yang lebih santai.

Berapa harganya?

Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R 2024 ialah USD 24,995 (RM 118,501.30) dan Rocket 3 Storm GT ialah USD 28,995 (RM 137,465.29). Sudah tentu, harga di Malaysia akan jauh lebih tinggi (seperti semua barangan yang lain – semua pun mahal!).

2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm Range Launched

The 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm range has been launched, in both R and GT guises.

The Rocket 3 is famous for two things: One, it has the largest engine in production, and two, the engine’s massive torque will straighten your arms like a er… rocket. But make no mistake: Triumph has sold 18,000 Rocket 3’s since the remake in 2019.

And, Triumph knows that mo’ power is always better.

Here are the highlights of the 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm range:

The 2,458 cc (yes, bigger than most cars in Malaysia), 3-cylinder powerplant now punches out 180 hp at 7,000 RPM and head-snapping 225 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM.
That is a bump of 15 hp and 4 Nm.

Power is sent through a Torque Assist Clutch, the buyer can purchase the optional quickshifter.
The frame continues to be aluminium, which made its debut in 2019. Better to keep the weight down.
New, 10-spoke cast aluminium wheels to reduce unsprung weight by 2 kg. Reducing 2 kg is a lot when the wheels spin up, giving quicker handling as there’s less gyroscopic forces.

The front has massive Showa 47 mm forks, adjustable for rebound and compression damping.
The rear shock is a Showa RSU monoshock with piggyback reservoir.
Brembo Stylema calipers are up front, clamping on 320mm discs.
At the back, a Brembo M4.32 monobloc caliper grabs a huge 300mm disc (since the bike’s weight is rear biased).
Taming that power are rider aids like TC, ABS, and four power modes.
There are also lean-angle sensitive ABS, and well as optimized cornering traction control.
There is now Hill Hold, which prevents the motorcycle from rolling backward by applying the rear brake.
Cruise control comes as standard on both models, and you can activate it at the touch of a button and adjust it up or down in 1 mph increments.
All of the tech features should be easy to interact with via the full-color TFT display and five-way joystick.

Both R and GT variants deliver a blacked out, if not sinister, attitude.
The R has a sportier stance, with mid-mounted adjustable footpegs, while the R has forward footpegs and more laid-back riding position.

How much?

The 2024 Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R is USD 24,995 (RM 118,501.30) and Rocket 3 Storm GT is USD 28,995 (RM 137,465.29). Of course, prices in Malaysia will be much higher (along with everything else).

Triumph TF 250-X Achieves Immediate Podium in MXGP

The new and highly awaited debut of the Triumph TF 250-X achieves an immediate podium in MXGP.

Rider Mikkel Haarup rode to a 5th place finish in Moto 1 (race 1) and 2nd in Moto2 (race 2) for a 3rd place overall in the MX2 class of the Argentinian MXGP.

Both Triumph riders had achieved podium finished in the preseason races, but those races were considered shakedown and warmup races, rather than the real thing.

Haarup made had two crashes during the Qualifying Race which put him 19th place for the start. The Dane rebounded during the two races on Sunday and even led the race in Moto 2.

Haarup said post-race: “Yeah, it’s been a really amazing start to the season! A podium is perfect and a great way to start the year for myself, and Monster Energy Triumph Racing.

“My qualifying race was not so good, but I knew that I had the speed to run in the top three today.

“All through the off-season we have been building and building and what we’ve achieved today is the result of a lot of hard work by everyone involved. I felt comfortable on the bike all weekend and that was really important on a tricky track like this. Today we’ve shown what this bike is capable of and overall, I’m really happy with my performance.”

Haarup’s Triumph teammate Camden McLellan took 11th and 6th-placed finishes to finish 9th overall in his first World Championship race as a factory rider. He said: “That’s the weekend wrapped up in Argentina and it’s safe to say that there were a lot of nerves and a lot of excitement all weekend.

Needless to say, this achievement is important for Triumph as they venture into another segment which they had no prior experience. Very few manufacturers could claim such a dream debut, what more in this age where the margins of performance are so small.

The Triumph TF 250-X is already on sale, from USD 9,995.00 (RM 46,776.60) in several markets.

Triumph Tiger 660 Rally Sedang Dibangunkan?

Model Triumph Tiger 660 Rally berkemungkinan sedang dibangunkan bagi melengkapi banjaran model 660 tiga silinder.

Triumph amat fasih dalam strategi menghasilkan model-model motosikal tetapi berasaskan platform yang sama. Contohnya: Banjaran 400cc bersilinder tunggal, banjaran Bonneville dwi-silinder 900cc dan 1200cc, banjaran Tiger 900cc dan 1200cc tiga silinder, dan banjaran 660cc tiga silinder yang amat popular.

Platform yang terakhir itu telah menghasilkan tiga model iaitu Trident 660, Daytona 660, dan Tiger Sport 660. Model Trident merupakan jenis roadster/naked, manakala Daytona merupakan sportbike, dan Tiger Sport 660 ialah sport-tourer. Namun, tiada model adventure (lasak) Triumph Tiger 660 Rally di dalam rangkaian itu.

Pembuat yang berpusat di Hinckley, UK ini amat peka terhadap hakikat ini. Sekmen adventure 700cc sedang hangat direbut oleh pembuat-pembuat motosikal. Pembeli motosikal adventure gemar kepada sekmen ini kerana ia terdiri daripada motosikal yang lebih besar daripada model 250cc-500cc tetapi tidak sebesar, seberat, dan semahal model-model 900cc-lebih daripada 1000cc. Antara model-model adventure sekmen pertengahan ialah Aprilia Tuareg 660, Honda XL750 Transalp, KTM 790 Adventure, dan Yamaha Tenere 700.

Fanning this rumour is Triumph Motorcycles Mumbai with a post in their Facebook page pointing to a reveal at the 2024 EICMA motorcycle expo. This may of course be over-enthusiasm and taken with with a pinch of salt, but Triumph is aggressive as usual in populating each segment. Only thing that remains to be seen if the final bike will have Rally and/or Rally Pro designations.

Khabar angin ini sebenarnya dimulakan oleh Triumph Motorcycles Mumbai melalui ciapan di akaun Facebook mereka. Mereka berkata lagi yang model baharu ini mungkin akan dilancarkan di ekspo EICMA 2024 kelak. Mungkin ciapan ini kerana mereka agak teruja tetapi Triumph amat agresif dalam pembangunan model-model motosikal bagi mengisi semua jurang!

Is a Triumph Tiger 660 Rally in the Works?

A Triumph Tiger 660 Rally may be in the works to complete the 660 triple lineup with an adventure model.

Triumph is the master of building different models based on an existing platform. Case in point: The 400cc singles, 900cc and 1200cc twin-cylinder Bonnevilles, the 850cc, 900cc and 1200cc Tiger triples, and the best-selling 660 triples.

The fourth platform has already spawned three models, namely the Trident 660, Daytona 660, and Tiger Sport 660. The Trident is a roadster or more commonly called a naked. The Daytona is a fully-faired sportbike. And lastly the Tiger Sport 660 is a sport-tourer. Thus, a Triumph Tiger 660 Rally adventure model is glaringly missing from the lineup.

The Hinckley, UK based manufacturer is aware of this. The 700cc adventure segment is being hotly contested due to great demand. Motorcycle buyers crowd to this segment as it sits between the smaller capacity bikes and the heavier and more expensive models. Rivals include the Aprilia Tuareg 660, Honda XL750 Transalp, KTM 790 Adventure, and of course, the Yamaha Tenere 700.

Triumph Introduces Minor Updates For Tiger 1200 Family

Triumph has unveiled an array of new features and upgrades for its Tiger 1200 family in 2024, elevating the range to new heights of advancement and sophistication. The enhancements encompass refined engine performance, improved comfort and ergonomics, enhanced cornering capabilities, reduced seat height with Active Preload Reduction, and vibrant new color options.

According to Triumph, the renowned 1160cc triple engine now offers an even smoother and more controlled riding experience, particularly at low speeds, while retaining its distinctive triple character derived from its T-plane crank. The engineering team at Triumph has fine-tuned the engine by modifying the crankshaft, alternator rotor, and balancer to enhance engine inertia, along with corresponding adjustments to engine calibration. These refinements result in heightened smoothness during acceleration and deceleration, especially noticeable at lower speeds. Additionally, an updated clutch design ensures a smoother engagement when shifting into first gear.

Furthermore, Triumph has prioritised all-day comfort for riders embarking on long-distance journeys with the Tiger 1200. A revised engine balancing strategy contributes to a smoother and more refined engine performance, enhancing comfort across various rider touchpoints. Borrowing from the successful Explorer models, dampened handlebars and risers have been incorporated into the GT Pro and Rally Pro, providing a smoother ride and improved mirror visibility.

The rider seat has undergone a redesign, featuring a flatter profile to offer riders more space and reduce fatigue during extended trips. Additionally, the accessory low seat, which lowers the seat position by 20mm, has been redesigned for enhanced comfort. A longer clutch lever has also been introduced to provide additional space for riders’ fingers, further enhancing comfort on extended journeys.

Triumph has raised the cornering ground clearance of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models by adjusting the footpeg positions, thereby increasing rider confidence during cornering maneuvers. The introduction of the Active Preload Reduction feature allows riders to lower the seat height by up to 20mm simply by pressing the ‘Home’ button for one second on the switch cube as the Tiger 1200 slows to a stop.

The Tiger 1200 is now available in some markets in four variants, featuring new colors for 2024. The Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer are offered in striking Carnival Red, in addition to Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer come in stylish new Matt Sandstorm and Jet Black options, alongside the popular Matt Khaki.

Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, expressed enthusiasm for the 2024 updates, highlighting their potential to enhance the riding experience and expand the Tiger 1200’s global appeal. Since its debut in 2021, the latest generation Tiger 1200 has garnered significant sales success worldwide, with the Tiger 1200 GT Explorer notably chosen by Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes for his Guinness World Records feat of covering the greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours.

Showa upside-down big piston 41mm forks, Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU, and radial four-piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines enhance the bike’s performance. Michelin’s new Power 6 tires further contribute to the exceptional ride quality.

Boasting a rider-friendly design, the Daytona 660 features a 810mm seat height, narrow stand-over, and optimized bar and footpeg positions. Rider-focused technology includes three riding modes (Sport, Road, and Rain) that optimize throttle response and traction control settings, along with an Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates hazard lights during heavy braking.

The bike’s multi-functional instruments include a color TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display, compatible with the My Triumph Connectivity System. This system enables turn-by-turn navigation, phone interaction, and music control, all easily accessible through the switchgear for added convenience while riding.

The Daytona’s iconic design DNA receives a fresh interpretation with a bold and aggressive stance, highlighted by distinctive twin LED headlights and minimal bodywork. The three available color options feature a striking ‘660’ race-inspired graphic, adding to the bike’s allure.

As expected from Triumph, the Daytona 660 offers more than 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories, allowing riders to tailor their bike for enhanced performance, comfort, style, and practicality.

With a 16,000-km service interval, a two-year unlimited mileage warranty, and strong residual values, Triumph ensures a competitive cost of ownership.
